Close Menopause
I have medical conditions: diabetes, hep C, arthritis, gerd, diverticular disease, cervical and lumbar spondylosis, and fibromyalgia all making menopause quite difficult at times.
Close Fibromyalgia
FMS symptoms presented in Dec 06 at the same time I was diagnosed with cervical and lumbar spondylosis but was hardly noticed because I was exercising regularly at the time. Since then I lost my job and have become less active making the fibro almost unbearable. I’m also a diabetic, have gerd, and was exposed to hcv when I worked at a hospital as a phlebotomist. Getting back into physical shape is proving to be my biggest challenge in life.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Too Soon to Tell
- Didn't have enough treatments.
- Aqua Therapy Considering
- I hope to start aqua therapy soon.
- Elavil Not Working
- My Doctor prescribed too high a dose (for depression - not for pain). I couldn't take it.
Open Hepatitis C
Former health care worker diagnosed in 2001.
Open GERD & Heartburn
Diagnosed in 2001 along with diverticulitis.
Treatments
- Antacids Somewhat Helpful
- I use when I cut down on PPIs. They provide temporary relief, except at night.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
- Whenever I drink coffee for more than 2 days straight, the reflux worsens. I cut out coffee for over 1 and 1/2 years and only had to take prevacid 3 times/week.
- Dietary Modification Somewhat Helpful
- Added aloe vera juice and probiotics to diet. Elimated wheat products which helped immensely, but can't maintain that restriction very well.
- Pepto-Bismol Somewhat Helpful
- Just started taking. Provides instant but very temporary relief to mild discomfort.
- Prevacid Working / Worked
- Started off at 4 per day, then I was prescribed a daily 30mg for the rest of my life. I can cut back to 3/day for several months at a time. I'm concerned about long-term effects. Have to keep upping the dose back to daily, but I'm looking for alternatives.
- Raising Bed Position Somewhat Helpful
- Somewhat helpful but the situation was probably aggravated by concurrent insomnia.
Open War & Terrorism
Multiple chronic conditions. Like to write, garden, and watch birds.
Open Loneliness
Over the years my rugged independence has morphed into loneliness. As a single parent, whose child has grown, my close friends have dwindled. I've done all the right things, joined clubs, etc, but only several shallow friendships have formed. The only communication lately is online, which is unfulfilling.
